Operating Precautions
HIOKI CM4141C961-00
Operating Precautions
Observe the following precautionary information to ensure that the instrument can be used
safely and in a manner that allows it to perform as described in its specications. Carefully
read the separate document entitled “Operating Precautions” before use. Use of the instrument
should conform not only to its specications, but also to the specications of all accessories,
options, and other equipment in use.
Do not touch the section beyond the barrier during operation.
Do not measure any current in excess of the derating.
12
DANGER
Failure to do so could cause the operator to experience an electric shock.
See “1.2 Part Names” (p. 20).
Doing so can cause overheating of the sensor, resulting in bodily injury, re, or
damage to the instrument.
See “Frequency derating” (p. 65).
The maximum measurement current varies with the frequency, and the current
that can be measured continuously is limited. Operating the instrument at less
than this limitation is referred to as derating.
Do not apply a voltage across the measurement terminals
HIOKI CM4141C961-00
when the resistance measurement, continuity check,
diode check, capacitance measurement, or temperature
measurement function is selected
Conrm that the white portion (insulation layer) inside the
cable is not exposed.
Operating Precautions
DANGER
Doing so could cause an electric shock or damage the instrument. To avoid
electrical accidents, turn off the circuit before measuring it.
Using the instrument with a color inside its cable exposed could cause the
operator to experience an electric shock.
13
Operating Precautions
HIOKI CM4141C961-00
Do not allow the instrument to get wet.
Do not take measurements with wet hands.
When using the instrument while connected to test leads,
do not make measurements that exceed either of the ratings
indicated on the instrument or on the test leads, whichever is
lower.
14
WARNING
Failure to do so could cause the operator to experience an electric shock.
Using the instrument to make measurements that exceed either rating could
cause the operator to experience an electric shock.
IMPORTANT
HIOKI CM4141C961-00
Operating Precautions
Do not allow any foreign object to be caught between
the facing core surfaces of the jaws.
Do not scratch the facing core surfaces of the jaws.
Do not touch the facing core surfaces of the jaws
with your ngers.
Do not insert any foreign object into the gap of the
jaws.
Do not drop the instrument.
Do not subject the instrument to any shock.
Doing so may adversely affect the measurement accuracy
and open/close operation.
Clamp the instrument around only one conductor. Clamping the
instrument around two or more of conductors in a bundle prevents
the instrument from measuring any current regardless of whether
the measurement target is a single-phase or three-phase circuit.
15
Operating Precautions
HIOKI CM4141C961-00
L4937 Magnetic Adapter Set / 9804 Magnetic Adapter
People with electronic medical devices such as pacemakers
should not use the magnetic adapter.
Keep the magnetic adapter away from the body.
16
DANGER
Failure to do so may affect proper operation of the electric medical devices,
presenting a hazard to human life.
Do not drop the magnetic adapter.
HIOKI CM4141C961-00
Do not subject the magnetic adapter to mechanical shock.
Do not use the magnetic adapter in locations where it may be
exposed to rainwater, dust, or condensation.
Do not bring the magnetic adapter near magnetic storage devices,
such as oppy disks, magnetic cards, prepaid cards, or magnetized
tickets.
Do not bring the magnetic adapter near precision electronic
equipment, such as computers, TV screens, or electronic wrist
watches.
Operating Precautions
NOTICE
Doing so could damage the magnetic adapter.
Doing so could decompose or deteriorate the magnetic adapter. In addition,
diminished magnetic adhesion cause the instrument to drop, resulting in
damage to the instrument.
Doing so could damage such devices or data stored in them.

Overview
1.1 Product Overview and Features
This instrument is a clamp meter that can
perform true RMS measurement of current
simply by clamping it around a circuit. In
addition to current, it can measure voltage,
frequency, rush current, resistance, diode,
capacitance, and temperature.
Installing the Z3210 Wireless Adapter
(optional) to the instrument allows your mobile
device to display waveforms and measure
harmonics.

Making Measurements
2.1 Inspection Before Measurement
Check if there is any damage to the instrument occurred during storage or shipping and
verify that instrument operates normally before using it. If you nd any damage, contact your
authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
Check Inspection details Check Inspection details
The battery cover is closed and its screw
has been securely tightened.
There is no foreign matter on the
measurement terminals (p. 20).
The test leads are not broken. (p. 41)
There is no damage to the test lead
insulation, and neither the white sheathing
nor metal conductor inside the wire are
exposed.

2.2 Installing Batteries and the Z3210 Wireless Adapter
Installing the Z3210 to the instrument enables the wireless communications function. (p. 49)
Before removing the battery cover, remove the instrument
from an object under measurement and set the rotary switch
to the OFF position.
22
WARNING
Failure to do so could cause the operator to experience an electric shock. When
the instrument is clamped around the object under measurement, the battery
contact terminals are regarded as high-voltage parts.
After replacing the batteries or installing/removing the Z3210
HIOKI CM4141C961-00
Wireless Adapter, install the battery cover and tighten the
screw, then use the instrument.
Secure the battery cover with the screw attached to the
instrument at the time of shipment.
Do not mix batteries of different ages or types.
Do not use a battery whose recommended service life has expired.
Do not reverse the battery polarity.
Do not leave the exhausted batteries in the instrument.
